I’d like to take the opportunity to thank my mother and father for their contribution to Circle8bulls. For always setting the bar high, for their shared enthusiasm of a new calf crop, for their shared love of the Angus breed. But most of all, for always being there without judgment, arm extended, to pull me up when I have fallen over. I am eternally grateful.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. - Henry Ford

Foreward Welcome to our first Angus only bull sale. After twenty nine years of registering Angus calves we thought that we were well positioned to re enter the auction space. To say the journey to the 13th September 2021 has been a challenging would be an understatement. It’s a journey given the chance, I would not change as it has allowed us to evolve, and from that we now see the world through a very different lense. It was our intention to offer you a larger group of bulls, however as a result of a nutritional issue at the beginning of the 2021, we lost 20% of our sale draft. It is our intention to offer 100 bulls at auction by 2025! Why Circle8bulls?   

All animals have parent verified pedigrees up to 6 generations. All animals have 75KHD (ANGUS GS) powered EBV’s, which combined with PV delivers the highest level of accuracy and pedigree assurance available. You can’t change what you don’t measure! If it can be measured, we measure it and report it!

We focus on: Structure and Type • We understand that bulls need to look like bulls and need to be true to the Angus type. Balanced data • We don’t breed for extremes in any particular trait. We breed bulls that excel in all key economic traits, particularly fertility and eating quality. Customer service • If there is a problem, we fix it! All bulls are delivered free. Our success is your success. Kind regards,

R500 is well balanced, long sided, has a very maternal background (grand dam image as dam of Lot 12 and 13) and his great grand dam image as dam of (Lot 2) R500 is phenotypically attractive.

Profit in the beef cattle industry is about live calves that grow to industry requirements with the steer portion delivering eating quality sensations that encourage repeat custom and heifers that are fertile whose maturity patterns don’t allow them to become unsustainably large. It’s a very rare commodity to find a bull that is this phenotypically superior with such wellbalanced data. R525’s dam M130 has four sons in the 2021 catalogue and 33 progeny in total. M130 is exactly what we are stiving for, she herself is sexy to look at and her progeny display the same basic elements of soft skin and hair, length, depth, balance with excellent head carriage, neck extension and overall volume.

It is very achievable to breed bulls that read well and look like bulls! After 29 years of breeding R516’s type and kind, combined with what his data suggest tell me that, R516 is an absolute calving ease specialist as well as a bull that will add eating quality and sustainability of moderate mature cow weights that carry high quality carcass genetics.

Add all this to the fact that R553 is a seriously good looking bull that has all the fundamentals, in abundance, good feet and legs, strong head and jaw, excellent length and depth, soft skin and hair with big nuts (44 cm @ 11 months) Parent verified pedigree, genomic powered EBV’s. What’s not to like about this bull? R553 is a real look into the future of Circle8bulls breeding program. Bulls that are not extreme for any one trait, but bulls that deliver on multiple key economic profit drivers, bulls that are derived from what we believe to be the premier cow family in Australia ROSEBUD.

recessive genetic conditions This is information for bull buyers about the recessive genetic conditions, Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Hydrocephalus (NH), Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) and Developmental Duplications (DD).

Putting undesirable Genetic Recessive Conditions in perspective All animals, including humans, carry single copies (alleles) of undesirable or “broken” genes. In single copy form, these undesirable alleles usually cause no harm to the individual. But when animals carry 2 copies of certain undesirable or “broken” alleles it often results in bad consequences. Advances in genomics have facilitated the development of accurate diagnostic tests to enable the identification and management of numerous undesirable or “broken” genes. Angus Australia is proactive in providing its members and their clients with relevant tools and information to assist them in the management of known undesirable genes and our members are leading the industry in their use of this technology.

What are AM, NH, CA and DD? AM, NH, CA and DD are all recessive conditions caused by “broken” alleles within the DNA of individual animals. When a calf inherits 2 copies of the AM or NH alleles their development is so adversely affected that they will be still-born. In other cases, such as CA and DD, calves carrying 2 copies of the broken allele may reach full-term. In such cases the animal may either appear relatively normal, or show physical symptoms that affect their health and/or performance.

How are the conditions inherited? Research in the U.S. and Australia indicates that AM, NH, CA and DD are simply inherited recessive conditions. This means that a single gene (or pair of alleles) controls the condition. For this mode of inheritance two copies of the undesirable allele need to be present before the condition is seen; in which case you may get an abnormal calf. A more common example of a trait with a simple recessive pattern of inheritance is black and red coat colour. Animals with only one copy of the undesirable allele (and one copy of the normal form of the allele) appear normal and are known as “carriers”.

What happens when carriers are mated to other animals? Carriers, will on average, pass the undesirable allele to a random half (50 %) of their progeny. When a carrier bull and carrier cow is mated, there is a 25% chance that the resultant calf will inherit two normal alleles, a 50% chance that the mating will result in a carrier (i.e. with just 1 copy of the undesirable allele, and a 25% chance that the calf will inherit two copies of the undesirable gene.

If animals tested free of the undesirable gene are mated to carrier animals the condition will not be expressed at all. All calves will appear normal, but approximately half (50%) could be expected to be carriers.

How is the genetic status of animals reported? DNA-based diagnostic tests have been developed which can be used to determine whether an individual animal is either a carrier or free of the alleles resulting in AM, NH, CA or DD. Angus Australia uses advanced software to calculate the probability of (untested) animals to being carriers of AM, NH, CA or DD. The software uses the test results of any relatives in the calculations and the probabilities may change as new results for additional animals become available. The genetic status of animals is being reported using five categories: AMF

Tested AM free

AMFU

Based on Pedigree AM free - Animal has not been tested

AM_%

_% probability the animal is an AM carrier

AMC

Tested AM-Carrier

AMA

AM-Affected

For NH, CA and DD, simply replace AM in the above table with NH, CA or DD. Registration certificates and the Angus Australia web-database display these codes. This information is displayed on the animal details page and can be accessed by conducting an “Database Search” from the Angus Australia website or looking up individual animals listed in a sale catalogue.

Implications for Commercial Producers Your decision on the importance of the genetic condition status of replacement bulls should depend on the genetics of your cow herd (which bulls you previously used) and whether some female progeny will be retained or sold as breeders. Most Angus breeders are proactive and transparent in managing known genetic conditions, endeavouring to provide the best information available. The greatest risk to the commercial sector from undesirable genetic recessive conditions comes from unregistered bulls with unknown genetic background. The genetic condition testing that Angus Australia seedstock producers are investing in provides buyers of registered Angus bulls with unmatched quality assurance.

UNDERSTANDING The transtasman angus cattle Evaluation (tace)

What is the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation? The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus influenced beef cattle. The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility). The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is an international genetic evaluation and includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand databases, along with selected information from the American and Canadian Angus Associations. The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation utilises a range of genetic evaluation software, including the internationally recognised BLUPF90 family of programs, and BREEDPLAN® beef genetic evaluation analytical software, as developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England, and Meat and Livestock Australia Limited (MLA).

What is an EBV? An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values). EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and a historical genetic level (i.e. group of animals) within the TACE genetic evaluation, and are reported in the units in which the measurements are taken.

Using EBVs to Compare the Genetics of Two Animals TACE EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s). For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20 kg difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics). 50

Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).

Using EBVs to Benchmark an Animal’s Genetics with the Breed EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals in Australia. To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to the EBV reference tables, which provide: • the breed average EBV • the percentile bands table The current breed average EBV is listed on the bottom of each page in this publication, while the current EBV reference tables are included at the end of these introductory notes. For easy reference, the percentile band in which an animal’s EBV ranks is also published in association with the EBV.

Considering Accuracy An accuracy value is published with each EBV, and is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV. The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV. EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy.

Description of TACE EBVs EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within TACE, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this publication is provided on the following page.
